Upgrade Your Rainy Day Style
With spring approaching and atmospheric rivers in the news, now is the perfect time to enhance your rainy day attire with stylish and water-resistant outerwear and accessories. Instead of merely throwing on a raincoat, consider planning your outfit around it to boost your mood while staying cozy and dry.
Essential Styles to Own
- Casual Slicker: A hooded slicker with plenty of pockets is a must-have for casual outings.
- Dressier Trench or Balmacaan: A loose-fitting water-resistant coat is perfect for more formal occasions.
Springing in the Rain
For dog walks, opt for a Hooded Water-Resistant Jacket in tangerine ($249, talbots.com) for high visibility. Pair it with an All About Crossbody Belt Bag in oak ($35, athleta.gap.com) to keep your hands free. Complete the look with Bogs Holly Waterproof Chelsea Boots in green ash ($90, nordstrom.com) to tackle any puddles.
Shopping Day Showers
You can still look fashionable during downpours! Try a chic Cambria Cape Coat in desert thyme green ($280, bananarepublic.gap.com), paired with a classic Barbour Walker Umbrella in Tartan ($70, jcrew.com) and cute Women’s Bean Boots in orange/bean boot brown ($119, llbean.com) for a day out.
Stormy Weather and Beyond
A Kimi + Kai Women’s Else Water-Resistant Hooded Trench Coat in black ($188, macys.com) is an essential travel piece that works well over anything from jeans to cocktail dresses. Pair it with a waterproof Vankor Large Duffle Bag in Leopard Print ($18, amazon.com) for convenience, especially if you’re transitioning from daytime activities to dinner.
Stay stylish and embrace the rain!
